What is the process for obtaining a DTV visa while currently holding a Non-B visa and work permit in Thailand?

Approval from Hanoi today😃. Here is my experience for anyone interested:

Prior to leaving for Hanoi I filled in everything online and submitted:

Passport Bio Page

Passport photo

PDF of Screenshot of 1st page of October Revolut bank statement showing UK£12k+ balance, the money in/out section & 3/4 transactions. Solely the first page. I also added to PDF a screenshot of XE.com current THB value of balance shown on statement.

5 letters from clients confirming I work remotely for them on freelance basis and stating that this work can be carried out in Thailand & also a freelance work contract(10 pages!) from another client.

Arrived in Hanoi at 9.15 last Friday and then uploaded photo of Vietnam arrival stamp in passport from the airport. Finalised application, submitted & paid.

Status went to Processing Payment immediately and about 2 hours later changed to Pending Document Check & a further 2-3 hours changed to Pending Approval.

As I already have a Non B visa & Work Permit I was worried they would say this needs to be cancelled before DTV approved.

Approx 6pm today receive Approved email. No other documents requested.

Fyi I flew back to Thailand yesterday(typical!) so now I need to do a border bounce to activate after cancelling Non B & Work Permit. This was always my plan as I did not want to stay more than 5 days waiting in Hanoi and also not have re-entry permit in place before departing just in case it was declined.

All in all a simple process. If you have the necessary docs available just submit and wait, dont stress! If it happens it happens, if they ask more docs then give what you can, that was my thinking and theory anyway.

Any questions please ask here no PMs please!
